Notes
John 14:16-17
And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.
Life is challenging:
Financial Struggles
Health Issues
Relationships
Career Challenges
Personal Loss
Academic Pressure
Parenting
Purpose
Social Pressure
Environmental Factors
You have a support system that many people don’t.
You have assistance!
Who is the Holy Spirit?
When you ask who a person is, you’re inquiring about their identity, purpose, role, and reason for being.
While the Holy Spirit is not a person in the human sense, the Holy Spirit is fully personal.
The Holy Spirit has feelings and can communicate
John 16:13
However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.
He is not an “it”
The Holy Spirit's love language is quality time
Develop a relationship with the Holy Spirit.
Don’t say “Something told me”. Recognize that the Holy Spirit told you.
You must become more spirit-conscious
John 16:7 AMPC
However, I am telling you nothing but the truth when I say it is profitable (good, expedient, advantageous) for you that I go away. Because if I do not go away, the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, Standby) will not come to you [into close fellowship with you]; but if I go away, I will send Him to you [to be in close fellowship with you].
The Holy Spirit is God but also has distinct functions, roles, purposes, and duties.
